Btw, I've plow my driveway all last winter with a 92 Suzuki 160 2wd w/ chains. No problems. I'm sure the trail boss will have no problem.

Where do you live? I'm in Minnesota and we can get a foot or more of wet snow in one shot. With my Sportsman 500 with a 50" plow there is no way in hell I could plow that in 2WD and that thing is probably about 1000lbs with rider and plow.

I found a Murray tractor plow set up on Craigslist for $40. Bought a harbor freight winch for $50. The back end of the plow push bar matched right up to my hitch on the back of the bike... My welding guy fashioned a mount on the front of the bike and a hook up on the plow to make it all good! Now just waitin for a good ole nor eastah to get here!

An idea to get more lift..... If you were to cut a small "V" wedge notch (3/8-1/2" wide at open end) out of the push tubes, but not all the way through the tube, just in front of the A-arms. Then bent together the cut openings and rewelded the tube together. Maybe braced on the inside between the tubes if needed. Doing this should buy you anothe 2-4" of "lift" for the blades ground clearance, but clearance under the machine will stay the same.

Hope that explanation is clear as mud!

Like the Glacier 3 Mid Mount push tubes.... like just behind the blade mount / swivel area in this picture....
